Priyank Trivedi (ID: 0000005401b49b2d) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 12/30/2021 Just installed it to check if it can really scan WordPress websites and can scan vulnerabilities, since I have a WordPress website and it completely works great. Would strongly recommend to every WordPress website owner out there, you can scan in a few seconds whether your website is vulnerable to attack or not. Thank You.
